Facility Inspections

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is certainly an excellent sign for the quality of care at this nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home received its next highest category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this category, which is an acceptable score. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 77.586205 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Moving on to the next category, this facility did not perform very well. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's poorest category grade. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is frequently a fair measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. With its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
